About Our Blog:

Follow along with our team of quilters as we show off our new projects, discuss new and exciting techniques, talk about new fabric collections, and share news about the latest and greatest happenings here at Connecting Threads.

Yay! What better way to start the week than with a thread giveaway?!? I’d love to be able to enter but since I work here, they say I’m not allowed. Thus, unable to enter, I console myself with the thought that I get to be a part of the excitement and make some other quilter’s day!

One lucky grand prize winner will get a thread set of their choosing and two others will get 2 spools of thread in any color combination they want. I may be biased, but I personally love our thread and am so happy to have 33 new colors, giving us a new grand total of 90 colors in our cotton Essential Thread spools that we will have day in and day out.

Some of my favorite new colors include…

Grass

Sprout

Steel Blue

French Blue

and of course, Goldenrod

Since we added so many new colors, we had to rearrange our sets and add in all these new colors. As a result, we now have 10 new sets to choose from! With all of these color options, it’s so hard to pick which ones I love most. From Americana to Celebration, there’s sure to be a perfect set for every quilty occasion.

For the giveaway, one lucky winner will get the thread set of their choice, and two runner-up winners will each get two spools in whatever color combination they want. In order to win one of these lovely prizes all you have to do is leave a comment and tell me which thread set or which two thread colors you would choose if you won. I know this a difficult one because there are so many colors to choose from, but I know you all can do it! You have until February 26th to enter and on February 27th, we will announce the winners.

Rules: One entry per person. No purchase necessary. To be qualified to win, you must have a mailing address in the US or Canada. You must provide us with a valid email address so that we can contact you if you win. Contest ends 11:59 pm on Sunday, February 26th. Good luck!

Oh my, I’m #1 and #1’s never win anything. I absolutely love your thread and have used it since it first came out. My last order included some brights for quilting and my first cone (cornsilk). I would love to win but will be happy for those who do win.

I would choose the rainbow set or Persian Blue and Calypso since I am making a blue/white quilt right now. I love the essential thread and have many of the colors since I can only use cottons. Joan in MS

Ooooh! I feel like a kid in a candy store. . .what to choose? what to choose?
At THIS moment, I adore the Farmer’s Market collection. If you ask me in a few more minutes, I would probably pick a different set!
In choosing only two (impossible, really) I would have to go with the Coral Reef and Celadon.

I just bought a new machine – A Janome – and need thread! I would choose the Essential Garden set, and for the 2 spools, I would pick Goldenrod and French Blue. Thanks for the opportunity to try your thread.

Would love to win this! I have been wanting to try your thread and have heard great things about it.
The thread set I would pick would be the Fresh thread set. It looks like it would go good with 30’s repros, my favorite fabrics. For the two spools, I would love to try the hyacinth and the wisteria. Just love the colors!
Thanks for the chance to win!

The Essential Bright thread set would be my choice. I’ve my eye on trying one of the Wells ladies’ New York Beauty quilt patterns and love the idea of practicing my free motion quilting with bright thread on a dark background…make those sunny fireworks pop!

Thanks for hosting a giveaway! I got really excited when I saw the new threads on the site but I had just bought some. I’d love every last spool but if I had to choose I’d pick the Celebration set and the Calypso and Claret individual spools.

OOOHHHH I love CT’s thread and use it for all my sewing. I have a friend that I have converted to this thread and I would love to win the “Fresh Set” as I could share with her. I would choose the Goldenrod and the Grape in single colors since my DH wants a quilt with L.S.U.’s purple and gold. Perfect! If I don’t win I will be happy (with tears in my eyes) for the one that does.

Oh my, I love them all! I wish I could have a spool of each color. The grass color really catches my eye, though. Green is my favorite color, as anyone could tell by looking at my stash. I also love the french blue…it would look great with the grass green in my quilts. Thanks for adding so many wonderful new colors!

Wow what a great giveaway !!! Love your threads they are the best !! My choice would be the Farmers market on the sets and for the 2 French Blue and Grass… Thanks for the chance to win the best thread on the market.

If I won the set I’d probably pick the celebration thread set, yes it’s a bit impractical for most of my usage, but who cares? I bet I could think of a million excuses to use it!
If I won the two thread spools I’d go with white (because you can never have enough white thread!) and the red violet, sure it’s not something I’d use everyday, but who cares it’s gorgeous!

Wow-90 colors to choose from! Since I have a lot of blues and greens in my stash, I’d choose the new Beach House collection. If I had to choose just 2 spools, Terra Cotta and Mahogany for the fall woodland quilt I’m planning. Thanks!

There are so many pretties…the Celebration set, Beach House, Farmer’s Market! In the end I’d have to go with the Essential Brights set and if I had to pick 2 colors it would be Sprout & Calypso – perfect for all the decorating I’m doing in my boys’ room! Thanks!

Great colors and was hard to choose.
For the 2 colors ~ I really like Grass and Tangerine.
For the set ~ Farmers Market.
Thanks so much for the giveaway ~ very generous.
Also, your prices are very reasonable!

Well first off…THANK YOU SO MUCH for having a contest..this is wonderful.
Second…wow all these colors to choose from….I love all the names by the way.
I guess I would say Calypso and Grape…they would be wonderful to use on appliqué projects.
Thanks Connecting Threads

Essential Fresh, although Beach House was pretty close, love those colors!!
2 colors??? That is not easy! I guess I’d pick Surf and Persimmon.
I love your thread, I order it in large quantities when it is on sale, which is an even bigger bonus because it’s already a great price!

I use your threads all the time, have many colors!! I love them!! I would choose wine and steel blue for the individuals and for the set I would choose Homestead. Those colors just call to me!!! Thanks

I would have to go with the Americana Thread Set. So many of my quilts are in these colors! The two colors I would really go for would be Cream and Tea Dyed! Your thread is awesome and so wish you would bring back the variegated ones!
Thank you for the giveaways and great products you carry!

OOOO i LOVE essential threads!! it is now my top choice for thread – my mr. singer loves to sew with it! and a giveaway on my birthday? how could any quilter resist that combination!! i love the Rainbow Thread set – the colors look so fresh and bright! for the individual spools, i would have to go with Hyacinth and Sweet – love the colors! Thank you for hosting this fabulous giveaway

I love your thread! I have the neutral set now and just love how it flows through my machine!
I’m drawn to the Homestead Collection, it has 2 colors in it that I would love to have…Steel Blue and Blue moon. I’m waiting on my order of Symphony of Blues fabrics and I think these two blue colors would be perfect for it!!

I think I have every color you make. But I do run out and would love any set that you send me. I use a lot of black and natural. I wish when you come out with new colors, that you would mark that on your website, as I usually but all the new ones.

I love your threads . I am waiting on a thread order andbatting now. I love the bright colours . But I use many of your beautiful colours …The grass and spout are also very nice colours and use these colours often .

oh oh oh – love connecting threads spools of essential threads!! thanks you for the chance at ESSEBTIAL GARDEN THREAD SET!! yippppeeeee would love to win for the 2 would be the new Grass and Goldenrod thank you again and again

Awesome giveaway! I love the rainbow thread set, and the essential country thread set and the confections thread set! I think the confections is my favorite though. I think it’d have to be cocoa and marine for individual spools.

I have been using Connecting Threads thread since I started quilting about 7 years ago. I just love it! The new Homestead thread collection. I use these types of colours frequently in my quilts. I use silver and antique for most of my piecing, unless my fabrics are dark. I do miss your varigated colours, though.

Oh it’s so hard to choose, love all the colors, but I’d love to have the Essential Country Set and Marine (HA HA get it Marine color for my last name!!) and Grass for the individual spools. Great give-away. Thanks!!

I love the confections set and would chose a tan and silver thread spools. I am a beginner quilter and one of the guild members recommended Connecting Threads as a great place to get good quality thread. I’ve made a few purchases and have enjoyed the quality very much.

I am just finished up a spool of your white, so I’d have to go with 2 more spools of white (I KNOW BORING, but I LOVE IT SO MUCH!). For the thread set I could have to pick beachhouse – Love the colors! Thanks for having the best thread out there!

Woodland thread set would be my first choice. I also like the Persian Blue and Wine spool colors. They would be just the right colors for my country quilts! Thank you for this opportunity. You have great thread!

I love all these beautiful colors. My favorite thread set Celebration Thread Set, 2 colors I would love to have in my stash – Azure and Custard. It’s nearly impossible to choose, but I love all these wonderful colors.

Who could pass up the Garden Thread set by Essentials I love all the earthy tones and would have a blast using them along with 2 spools of Fawn and Turkey Red to top off a collection my thread rack would glow and I could hardly wait to sit down at the machine or machines and thread them all up..

I am a young new quilter and a friend form the lake recommend your thread to me. What a hard decision to pick just one thread set, but I am going with the Fauna thread set. The two spools in whatever color combination will be Espresso and Antique.

If you haven’t tried the Connecting Threads thread. OMG you need to! It is the best. I don’t use any other thread in my Janome. It is the most affordable highest quality thread I have every used. I started out using S**r but I would have to clean my machine so much, and we won’t even talk about breakage. Not with Connecting Threads!. Even if you don’t win seriously order this thread!

I absolutely love anything that Connecting Threads produces, and I especially love the thread. I love to applique and this thread is awesome for applique and for piecing, therefore, I only need to have one huge supply of thread. I would chose the Farmers Market and grass and goldenrod for the singles. Thanks for having such a wonderful contest.

Wow, how could I pick just one? I would pick either the essential country thread set or the fauna set because they would be used in more quilts, although the beach is really calling my name too! LOL I think I would pick fawn and cream if I could only pick two because they would be used the most!

This is awesome…….. so many to choose from, but guess I would have to say the rainbow colors are my first love. I enjoy Connecting Threads and the site Quilt wuth Us………. Love it!!
I have connected with Sew with KiKi and she’s great!!
Would love to win some of this wonderful thread and of course I know that there can only be so many winners, but I have to say being able to be a part of this site and “friends” here also is being a winner also!!
Thanks for all you do for all of us!
Hugs,
Carol

Just bought a lot of Essential Thread when you had your last sale. Just love you new colors! I would choose the Beach House Thread Set if I was chosen for the prize and my two individual spools would be Custard and Celadon. Thank you for your great thread and fabrics!

I would have to pick the Confections thread set to go with my CT Hope Chest fabric set. What a great inspiration for pushing me to finally settle on a pattern and get started! Earth and Fawn would be my choices for the individual spools because I do not have many neutral colors in my thread collection. Good luck to all!

I love your thread and fabrics and I LOVE the new colors! I think I would have to pick the Celebration set. That was a tough choice and so is choosing only two colors! Fawn is a lovely color and I need something like that, so I would have to go with Fawn, and the Royal Purple. Thanks for the giveaway and the new colors!!

I really like the celebration set. Its nice and bright. If i had to pick 2 spools I would pick cream and orange because the cream is neutral and can be used for many projects and the orange is a stand out bright color that i could see myself using as a contrast on different projects.

I absolutely love the Rainbow Set of Thread. If I had to choose 2 spools I would probably go with the Hyacinth and Orange as they are favorites of mine and my 7 year old granddaughter, Leah, who pieces with me.

If I win, I would like Beach House thread set. I love the soft blues and greens it has. The single thread cone I would love two Goldenrod for it quilts so pretty on many of the yellow quilts I make and I always seem to be ordering more of that shade.

I would choose the Celebration thread set. It looks so colorful and cheery. Two spools would be left up to you to surprise me with, as I would use whatever you sent me within my quilting projects. This is so much fun and quilting is my passion!

I think I’d have to choose the Homestead thread set! I just ordered one of the sets and absolutely LOVE the thread! It’s thicker than regular thread but sews so nicely. You can never have enough thread to choose from!

I LOVE your thread. I have several sets and several of the large cones… I would choose the Woodland set (since that seems to be the color fabrics I’m using at the moment) and for my 2 others I would choose Corn Silk and Grey… Hope I’m lucky this time!

I love your thread and would love to have one of each color but I usually get the bright gem colors for my machine quilting. My Favorite is cherry, it such a beautiful red. Any color in the Essential brights is a hit.

I love the Homestead if I can choose only one. As for the two spools of thread, Neutral would probably be my choice as I use it for everything. You can never have too many spools. I love your threads, can’t wait to buy the newer sets as my budget allows. Thank you.

Wow! With so many beautiful choices I’d have to go with the Celebration Thread set. It matches a lot of the Connecting Threads fabric I’ve already purchased. Grass and French Blue would be my individual choices. Thanks for the giveaway!

Absolutely love your thread! I even turned my mother on to it and she stocked up on a case and 3 thread packs after trying some on my machine. It’s nice to have thread to match your project on hand, and you can’t beat the price! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the opportunity to win! I would pick either the Confections thread set or Celebration thread set, and for singles it would be Lemon and/or Wisteria. These are my favorite threads! Thank you! Jan

Since I love to work with bright colors, my choice of a thread set would be the new Celebration Thread Set. The two spools, I would ask for the Dark Honey and the new Goldenrod colors. I find Essentials Threads works well when machine quilting on my Bernina.

I simply love your thread! Nothing more to say other than I would love to win another set. I have recently bought a thread storage, and will buy more, so I can see all the lovely colors. Love the grass and the goldenrod!

This is positively the best thread ever. I use the Essential Pro also for long arm quilting. If I had to choose I would have to choose the brown assortment and any of the new greens. I always seem to run out of those colors first and scramble to get more ordered. I use to shop at the Vancouver, Wa location before you became on-line ever. Miss that store ALOT.

Gee – hard decision all the way around….colors are great! I suppose the Salt and Pepper set would be the one I would use most. From the new color choices of threads, my favorites are Steel Blue and French Blue.

if I could only have 2 it would be red and cherry. but I’d really like to have the bright collection. I use your threads exclusively all the time. Cant see why anyone would want any other, when you have all the colors, and the price is right!

I’ve had my eye on the Essential Bright thread set for some time (though if it has to be the new sets, I love the celebration set.)
My two favorite colors (that I don’t already have) are Red Violet and Goldenrod

I absolutely love your thread and would love to win some! As for colors, it is so hard to choose, but I do a lot of applique in bright colors and I think the rainbow set would be the one I would choose. As far as the 2 spools, I think the basic cream color would be my choice as it goes really fast!

Oh goodness…soooo many colors and sets to choose from! I especially love the colors in the Celebration set! For the 2 single colors I like Tomato and Eggplant lol and no I didn’t realize I picked 2 veggies like that!!!

Mercy! How can one choose just one set and two spools for goodness sakes! I love love love the Fauna Thread Set, it’s gorgeous. As far as the individual spools…Wisteria and Weathered Wood are colors I’d love to add to my thread chest. Thanks for the chance!

My first visit here and I’m truly impressed and inspired! I love the Fauna Thread set and single colors of Grass and Sprout. I would so love to share these threads with my 83 year old mother who loves to quilt as much today as she did when she was 16. Those hands are never idle and she passes her knowledge and skill on down through 4 generations. I’m so thankful she has taught me to quilt, sew and accomplish any craft I choose.

I just love the new colors. If I win the set, I would like Beach House. In fact, I would love to be at a beach house right now. My other single spool favorites are Sea Breeze and Clover. Now I need to start designing a quilt with these colors.

Too many beautiful thread sets too choose from. I do love the rainbow set but if I had to choose only 2 then they would be grass and goldenrod. It would be so awesome to win this. Thank you for having this give away.

My favorite is the Beach House collection. I live on the west coast and the beach is an important part of my life.Loving Beach Glass and Sunshine. I purchased a set of black, gray and white. I enjoy them so much. Great thread!!!

I would REALLY REALLY love to win these new threads for my new thread holder!!! I have a hard time picking from the Beach Set or The Rainbow set. The two colors I like are Calypso and Goldenrod. It took FOREVER to pick Thanks so much for this contest. If anything, I just found a new place to get my thread from! Karrie S

Thank you for the opportunity to win! What a tough decision ~ all of the sets have wonderful colors in them. If I had to pick one, I’d choose the Fauna thread set. And if I had to pick two individual colors, I’d choose Antique and Parchment.

What a wonderful offer!! I have been using CT thread since it came out and I LOVE it. I have so many of your colors but could never say no to more and the new sets are awesome. I love farmersmarket,woodland,homestead,and the americana sets as I am drawn to those rich muted colors but then I spotted beach house!! The colours are so beautiful together and that’s what I would choose, although it’s so pretty I’d have a hard time splitting the set to use it!! My singles would be Tomato and Lime

Calypso ( my granddaughter Logan nursery is that shade of blue) and Lavender( for my other new granddaughter whose nursery is lavender, gray and yellow) and for all those quilts I need to make, I love the rainbow set of threads. Both girls will arrive at the end of march. I am such a lucky grandmother.

You have come up with MORE colors! I like all the sets and they are very inspiring. I like the Beach House set and I guess I would have to say I would chose the Sprout and French Blue as my 2 new favorite colors.

Love the new colors. I would pick the Rainbow set, because it has a lot of colors that I would use, but don’t keep on hand. And for the two spools I would choose the new color Orange since I have a purse that I need to make in that exact color and White, since you can never have enough white.

I have many sets of your thread! It is my favorite. I even bought the pattern for the yard stick thread case and my brother made one for me and my sister. We received them for our Christmas gift. I love all the colors that display in my case. I would say I need Beach house for the set and Black and grass for the individual colors.

It’s really hard to choose! I like the Homestead set, but I also like the Essential Country or the Essential Garden since I like to use reproduction fabrics. For the new threads I like them all …. if I have to choose, I’d go with the Goldenrod and French Blue.

Oooh! Beach House would be the set for me. Love those colors. I’ve also done some black and white wall hangings that are inspired by Ansel Adams black and white photographs, so perhaps the salt and pepper set would be a second choice.

so many pretty colours but if I had to choose I would pick the Confections collection, pretty pastel colours would work wonderfully on a 3o’s quilt. For 2 spools I would pick Fawn and Parchment. I am working on a quilt for a friend who likes taupes and these two threads would work well on her quilt.

Great selection of colors. I like the Rainbow set of colors and I also like the Celebration set. As far as individual colors, I like pale yellows. These colors blend in quite well with a multitude of other colors.

Wow! So hard to choose. I love the Country and Garden sets and the Cherry and Latte spools. Thanks for all of your fabulous products. I have never been disappointed and frankly sometimes you exceed my expectations.

I am a quilter (qb stands for quilting bingham) and use a lot of thread. If I were to win a set I find it hard to choose but Confections (21177) caught my eye to fulfill the needs for many quilts. Individual choice for two would be Wisteria 21153 and grass 21163. I have used your threads and am very pleased with the results.

I have been using your threads for a numbers of years now with wonderful results. My favorite set is the “BRIGHTS” because it reflects my personality best. My single favourite colour has to be “NATURAL” because it is my go to whenever I am piecing. It saves me from changing my thread continually.

I NEED the Beach House set as I am goingo be making a BOM that will be machine appliqués and the colors are perfect. I also crave the confections set. I love the fresh colors and the pastels. Please pick me!

Oh what a great giveaway! I would love to win your new Rainbow set, and the singles I pick are Natural and Turkey Red. I have a new quilt in mind that I can use the Turkey Red with. What fun – thank you for the chance to win!

What great colors you have put together. I’d be pleased to have any of them, but given my druthers, I really like the Homestead set. Those smokey colors really appeal to me. As for individual spools, I would choose Slate and Grey – both great all-purpose colors that I use almost every time I sew.

Great selection, love the new names as well as the new colors of thread. I can’t decided which is my favorite. I bet I can choose if I get the chance! Your thread is all I use…just waiting for hand quilting glazed thread! Here’s hoping.

WOW, they are all so beautiful, hard to pick. I love the richness of the Essential Garden; the bright/fun Celebration and the warm and homeyness of Homestead. I would probably go with Essential Garden as those colors would work with a quilt I’m finally going to make for my own queen size bed. I’m using one of your spools right now on a warm flannel quilt for my 87 yr old Father in Law.

Recently, I purchased several spools of your thread and I LOVE IT!! It’s a really tough decision but I guess if I could have any sets it would be the Essential Bright Thread set – any one of them would go with most of the fabrics I use. And if I had to pick two spools, it would be Persian Blue and Earth. Thanks for the opportunity to enter this contest!

As a quilter who has been unemployed for 2 years, getting a free anything is extremely helpful! The new color choices are terrific and its hard to choose but, Celebration or Beach House would help finish projects.

I’ve bought your thread for years, it’s the only kind I will buy, love all the colors and the quality spcecially the cones since I quilt every day it’s so handy. I use the colors for my specialty quilting.

I love the threads, have been using them for some time now. I love the “Celebration” set and if I had to choose just 2 other colors I’d go with “Wisteria” and “Clover” since I don’t have colors like that in my stash. I hope I win but if not me, then good luck to everyone else who entered.

I have been using your threads for a long time. I can always find a perfect color to match my quilts.
Should I win I would Love the Confections Set and since Blue is my favorite color I would pick the Steel Blue and French Blue. Thank you in advance for this giveaway.

I love the Beach House collection. I have quilt top in blues and browns just waiting for the right thread! for spools, I just have to have terra cotta and persian blue. they’re beautiful and I’d find someting to use them on!

Pick one set or two colors? Wow, this is hard as I love all the colors and use your threads all the time. I guess I would pick The Essential Garden set and the singles would be caramel and antique to round out my collection.

I love the Celebration series. It reminds me of Spring which is just around the corner. As a “new bee” to the quilting world, I would be tickled to win. My choice of the two selections would be Royal Purple and Lemon. Thank you for the opportunity to be in the drawing. Love the kits your offer.

Oh – – I would love to win! Since my “connection” with Connecting Threads – it’s the only thread I use. I buy the cones for every day use and spools for special projects. My choices would be Essential Country and Essential Bright. Thanks for the opportunity!

I love all the new sets and colors. It was so hard to select, but I did manage. I love the Essential Fresh Set — so springy. I had an even harder time selecting only two colors, but finally narrowed it down to Hyacinth and Persimmon.

Heh, thanks for the prizes! I like the Fauna and Farmers set (like them all actually), and the 2 thread colours that I could use in my landscapes are terra cotta and grass. Thanks again! I’ll wait to hear from you…. lol

Talk about sensory overload! It felt like looking at the “big box” of crayons when I was a kid. I am torn between Farmer’s Market and Fauna. Now I don’t know if I should wish hard to win – because if I do I’ll have to choose… What a fun dilemma…

The colors of the thread are truly “yummy” and I’d love to work with them all. My favorite and the one that “speaks” to me is the Essential Country set. For the single spools, Dark Honey and Latte. Thanks for the chance to win these!

Fresh essentials are beautiful and can be used for a variety of my favorite colors to quilt. I am a lighthouse and sea type so make my quilts either in light to true deep colors or in brights such as contrasting red and blues. French blue and tomato would fit me to a T.

I LIKETHE AMERICANA SET, IT HAS ALL THE NICE COLORS I USE EVERYDAY. BEAUTIFUL
FOR THREAD I LIKE MOHOGANY AND BEACH GLASS THEY ARE SUCH A NICE COLOR
I WILL CONSIDER USING YOUR FABRICS SOON TO TRY OUTTHANKS

If I won and I hope I do, I would select the fauna thread set because I tend to like and make quilts using muted and neutral colors. If I had to pick two colors and I this was award one, I would choose Sprout and grass to use in my guild’s charity quilts for veterans and their families.

What gorgeous colors! If I should be the lucky wineer, I would like the Essential Garden set. Forest Green and Turkey Red are my favorite individuals – I teach applique and love Baltimore Album quilts! Thanks for offering us this chance!!

Thread–luv it—luv it. The Essential Country Thread collection is my favorite and the new colors???–Golden rod and Sprout. Thank you for the draw and for having such a wide selection of thread colors. I use your threads a lot!!!! Matilda Wingie, 43910 W.Wild Horse Trail, Maricopa, Az. 85138

It’s a tough choice between Celebration and Rainbow Thread Sets. I think I’d choose Rainbow. I love all the bright colors. For the individual spools…. hmmm…again this is difficult….so many beautiful colors to choose from…..Sprout and Sea Glass. I love blues and greens!

I’d have to say the Woodland Thread set is my favorite…I’m using a lot of woodsy fabrics right now! For my two favorite colors? Merlot of course, my quilting beverage of choice, and Sunshine…In the Northwest, we never get enough!

I would love to win the homestead thread collection. What beautiful colors. If I had to choose 2 colors, I would love to get 2 cornsilk thread spools. It is the best color to use when sewing several different colors of thread.

I buy your cone threads and use them on my regular sewing machine and my long arm. As most said it was hard to choose but I think I like the New Confection Set and for the new colors I like the slate and Parchment as they are close to the colors I use daily.

Fauna Thread set would be my pick. I am in to the Beiges, browns now in my quilting. So this would be perfect. Thanks for the opportunity to win. P.S. I love your material too and the Essential pro thread.

I’d love to go with Beach House collection as I just purchased a jelly roll with those colors. If I won two spools (and I might add, it’s just cool to win something!) the colors would be med gray and a deeper biege which resembles unbleached muslin. Thanks for the chance!

I would probably choose the Fauna or Salt & Pepper collections. However, I must have 50 different colors of your threads in all the different shades. I love color even though I usually piece with taupe or grey.

If I were to win two spools I’d choose ‘butter’ and ‘corn silk’ because I use a lot of neutrals and I love the sound of those two together–reminds me of good summertime garden meals! I’d also love to win a collection of ‘Celebration’ to celebrate summer and all those wonderful summer holiday projects. I use this thread for EVERY sewing project and have never been disappointed!

I think the Rainbow Collection or is it the Farmer’s Market? So difficult to choose. I love them all.
Two singles would be the French Blue & Steel Blue.
Thank you for the opportunity to win anything from Connecting Threads.

Wow! I too love Essentials and have many of the colors. My daughters-in-law can’t believe I have 2 racks of them hanging on my pegboard. For a set, I would choose between Beach House and Confections. Individual spools would require me to look at what I have and fill in with new colors! What fun!

I will take any thread you send me, but the homestead set is what I would choose (I want all of them). The french country is one spool as it would be the perfect color for my pineapple quilt which has a beautiful french country blue color going through; and I would choose the goldenrod yellow and start a project for that lovely color!

Green is my sons favorite color and he’s getting married next year. Blue is my daughters favorite color and she’s married 10 yrs next year. In my book every 10 yrs deserves a new quilt. Yellow to finish my nieces wedding quilt due this July. So many quilts, so glad I have the time!

My home is in Holland and i always read your blog and I will try now to win the price of your great Give a Way. My son is a pilot and brings your fabrick home to me when he is in the USA. I love your stuf and hope that some day you are shipping to Holland, That wil make my day. My son is going to school so he can not vissit your country for a long time now so I have to mis all your great offers. Love Janny

You are right, the decision on which colors is hard. I have always pieced using white, black or Off white that when i need to Free-Motion instead of using my Long Arm, I find I have to go out to buy thread.
If I had to make a choice in two spools, it would be Honey & Forest. I do a lot of XMAS items that I free motion during the Nov & Dec holiday, and those colors would work well.
Now for the hard one! If I had to make a choice on which thread set, i would definitely have to go with the Farmer’s Thread set. Both My darling hubby and I love the shades of orange & brown. I have many projects that I do for my family for Thanksgiving and boy using those colors are their quilt projects will be awesome!

They are all so tasty! I have used your thread for over 9 years now. I love it!
I guess I would choose the Beach House collection and the two spool colors? Tangerine and Calypso. The way I look at it who cares! They are all fantastic and I will own them all eventually.

I love your thread! I already own 5 sets.Any new set would be great to win. The colors are bright, warm, and vibrant.My only complaint is: you need to identify your thread on the spool somewhere in order to make reordering easy!! Please!!! Pretty Essential Please!!

Ok..I never win anything but because I love your thread I thought I’d try anyway. All of the color sets are great but I’m really drawn to the Homestead and Farmers Market thread colors. Got my fingers crossed!!! LOL

What a fun way to have a contest. Better yet, what a great way to get to see so many beautiful new colours! I love the set Farmer’s Market and the two colours I could always use are Custard and Royal Purple. One can never have too much thread, just like fabric!!

Wonderful colors! I would choose the Rainbow set. I’ve never outgrown love of rainbows even though I could be a grandmother (if my children had children, that is!!) I’d use them in a rainbow quilt (for the grandchildren I wish I had!!)

There are so many beautiful colors to choose from. I LOVE THEM ALL! This is the best thread that I have used and will continue to use in all my sewing. I would probably choose Rainbow or Calypso and Surf. LOVE LOVE LOVE the BLUES!

The essential Bright set would be my preference, as I am starting to quilt with my longarm machine, it is difficult to choose some threads to complement the quilting of the quilt, especially not knowing what my next project color scheme would be. This selection covers a wide range of colors to be used.

This is really harder than choosing your favorite flavor ice cream! I want them all (just like the ice cream)! I will have to choose the Rainbow set of threads – they all look delicious! If I chose two out of the set it would be Red and Lime – what a combo – yum!

I LOVE thread in every color! I think I would go with the Fauna set, as I use so many neutrals. For individual spools, the French Blue was gorgeous (I am a real “blue” person and have so many!) and Brick (love those reds, too!)…

I LOVE your thread and own several colors already. I especially appreciate that the threads are an exact color match to your wonderful fabrics. The thread set that would be my favorite would be the Essential Country set, and the individual thread choices would be the Wine and Fawn.

Hi,
If I won the grand prize I would like to get either the Rainbow set or the Beach House set I love the colors in both of them. If I won two spools of thread I would choose Sea Breeze and Beach Glass.

I love Connecting Threads fabric, threads, notions, gift cards and web site! My favorite new thread set is BEACH HOUSE. They just look like the GULF of Mexico. I live in Florida but my heart belongs in Michigan so the two individual threads I would choose are FRENCH BLUE & GOLDENROD (UofM colors).

The only thread that I use is from Connecting Threads! I am always delighted with the colors and the quality of the thread. I would pick the Confections Thread Set as I now do a lot of sewing projects with my daughter in mind. If I had to pick 2 of my favorites it would be: Sweet Pink and Turkey Red. That’s a hard call to make as it’s like choosing between my kids…

Selecting one collection is hard!! All ten are on my wishlist! Beach House has the colors I need right away, so I would select that if chosen the winner! Persian Blue and Pumpkin would complete another project I’m kitting up, and I would be thrilled to win them! Thank you for the opportunity!

I am starting on a quest this year to start sewing up everything I have in the way of kits, projects liked…and all the lovely fabrics I have gathered these past 12 months….and I desperately need lots of thread…my threads are all at least 25 years old….

I have never used your threads but they look very interesting. It would be fun to try them. The color array is incredible. If I would win, the Beach House collection would fit into my usual color scheme of sewing. The two individual spools I would like is the steel blue and the goldenrod.

I love all of your threads. They make wonderful gifts for my quilting friends. I would love to win the rainbow set or 2 spools in Sprout and French Blue. Most of all I’m just happy that some one will be thrilled with winning.

I love all of your sets, but will have to say that your “confections” set would be my favorite set. As for the 2 spools, I would take any color you would like to give me. Thanks for having this giveaway.

Love the new sets. For a project I’m on, the Celebration colorway would work. I have Orange & Blue – there are so many combinations from soft to hard, bright to dull. I would look for a single of blue & one of orange! ;>

Wow What a neat giveaway Love to see all the exciting colors I love the Homestead collection The Fawn and the Latte are neat neutral colors I love the warm colors in my quilts Do a lot of quilt projects for my family My girls are always excited in getting something new homemade

Thank you for sharing such a generous giveaway! I would choose the Celebration Thread Set (such happy vibrant colors) or a two color choice of Persimmon and Sprout.
As always, enjoy perusing your website – Beth in AL

uhh that’s so hard to choose. but since I would probably use these to piece with or MAYBE applique…. I’d say either the black and white and grey set, or one with a bunch of bright colors, I can’t decide…..

If I were to win I could choose the Woodland Set which would enhance my quilted landscape all hanging.
I sew quite a few Red Hat items which make the choice of
Royal Purple and Turkey Red ones that I could use in purses, shirts, jackets, etc.
Thanks for the chance to win some of this beautiful thread.

I would love to win the thread as I have always wanted to try your thread, always looks so nice and comes highly recommended Farmers Market thread set and the 2 spools would be French Blue and Goldenrod.

This thread looks absolutely beautiful. I find it hard to choose from a certain set because they all look great! To integrate the Beach House Thead set colors in a pieced and appliqued quilt must make it look wonderful. What a great giveaway.

Wow, I remember when I started quilting and looking for cotton thread at my local stores. I could never find anything but white, black and maybe blue. I would love to have the Essential Country thread since it contains all of the colors I like to use in my quilts. I like the rich but subtle tones of the set.

Gosh more reasons to buy more fabric and make more things.Great!!!! If I could only have one set , probably the fauna. In single spools..Golden rod and Meadow.
Always new great things coming from Connecting Threads.

oh how i love the new colors! i love all the threads but my choice (if i really have to choose) is-
sea breeze & sprout would be my individual’s choice-
for the set—Confections—is a wonderful assortment! i love it!

Oh! this is a great giveaway. I love your threads. I use them a lot. Such nice colors. It is hard to choose which one. If I win, I would like the Confections thread set. Thank you so much. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I am dying to try your thread! If I were so lucky to win I would choose the Essential Country colors because most of the time I use the Thimbleberries pallet of colors.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win….
Nettie

MY first choice of thread collections to win would be the Farmer’s Market. I love the rich colors in that group of threads. If I could just win two, I’d pick the Turkey Red and the Jade green. Thank you. Janis

I have used many of your threads on my longarm machine. I not only love the vibrate colors,especially when I paint with thread but the cost certainly helps keep me in this tight economy to continue my craft. The Rainbow Set, spools–coral reef, french blue

Wow this is really hard, but if I must I would like the Beach House Thread set because the color of the thread reminds me of the water, waves, sand dunes all of God’s wonderful creations for us to enjoy. If I’m blessed to receive two spools I would like Tomato and Terra Cotta.
Thank You

I would be happy with most any of the thread sets, but I think my favorite is Farmer’s Market Thread Set and my two favorite colors are Grass and Sprout. They are lovely and refreshing new colors. Thank you.

Wow, the thread sets are so beautiful it’s hard to pick just one, but I would have to pick Homestead as my favorite set. As for individual spools, I’m a “blue freak” so I am going to pick Persian Blue and French Blue. I have already bought lots of your thread but mostly in neutral colors for piecing. I would love to win these colors and have fun playing with them!

This is so great, I love your thread, I am a new long arm quilter and my machine prefers your cotton essential thread over any others I have tried. My whole club Is hooked on it to. Farmers Market is my favorite I think so bright and fresh, just what we all need for spring. I am already counting down to Market Season can’t wait. Tracy

Love the new colors! For a thread set I would love to get the Farmer’s Market set. If I absolutely had to pick only two threads from all the gorgeous ones available, right now I would chose Terra Cotta and Clover as I have an orange and green quilt I want to make. Boy, that was a hard decision to make. Fingers crossed!!!

I was introduced today to your beautiful threads by a friend at a quilting bee. I was blown away by the gorgeous colors available and the quality of the thread. I could not wait to go on the website and order some! Sprout is such a fresh spring color!

your thread is so pretty – i love all the colors – woodland or fauna would be wonderful but i love the bright colors too – goldenrod would be pretty on the wall hanging i am doing now. and the sprout on the tabletopper i am doing. who can choose – i love them all!

I have yet to try these threads but I have ordered some sets of the fabrics that coordinate and would love to try them out! I enjoy the website and the emails and the quest for quiltmaking ideas, Thanks!

OH ..so many yummy choices, but I would choose Celebration collection because it would sew up great kids & bright quilts. My two spool choices would be Royal Purple and Sweet Pink…great colors together!

To pick 2 colors is easy … cinnamon and dark olive for a quilt I am currently working on for our new furr-baby, Benji. But to pick from all the wonderful collections? I want them all! However, the Farmer’s Market collection looks really yummy so that would be my pick!
Thanks for the give-a-way!

I love your thread and have recently started building my stash with your cotton sets. It would be tough to choose just one set! I do think, though, i would pick the celebration pack. I just love that assortment of colors! I think I love thread as much as fabric and always feel so “rich” when I have a stash of each available! May your Quilting Friends keep you in stitches!

What a Great Idea – Thread Give-Away! It would definately be a tough choice on just one set! I would have to go with the Confections Thread Set! It has alot of the colors that I create within my quilts. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

I’ve been using your threads for some time now. Great quality and I’ve never had a problem with them. I just love the color combinations you offer. It’s hard to choose a favorite but if I have to choose then my favorite set is Confection. The colors are understated and yummy! Two colors? Wisteria and Coral Reef. Just looking at them moves me. Thank you for the opportunity to win some!

Love your threads in all their glorious colors and have purchased almost all the old sets each time I ordered fabric. Would love to have the Fauna Thread Set as I seem to use the neutral colors the most and could use them to replenish what I have used up. As for the individual spools the colors grey and weathered wood would be great for my next project. I seem a bit drab but you should see my thread box jumping with color from Connecting Threads! Pick me! Pick me!

I’m so naughty I eat dessert before dinner so Confections is the set for me. Or a side of Jade and Butter and my sweet tooth will be quite content. There has to be some perks to being all grown up.
“You’re never too young to quilt
Or too old to rock ‘n roll!”

I just love your new threads ! Best thread for sewing and piecing. For the set, should I win, would like the Celebrations..beautiful bright colors. And for the single colors would like the Periwinkle and Lime. Thanks for giving everyone a chance to win.

All of the sets were absolutely gorgeous! My favorite is Rainbow with their vibrant colors. I would use these most. Everything I create is made with these bright hues. My two favorite colors are Orange and Wisteria. Connecting threads really are the best.

I really like the Celebration thread set. The 2 single spools I choose is Eggplant and Mahogony. You know how hard it is to pick from these. I have been purchasing your thread from the time it was introduced and I just love it. Whenever I get low on a color, I order another spool. Thanks for the opportunity to win some thread but of course if I don’t win I will buy it anyway.

I am fairly new to quilting and have grown to love it. I recently discovered your website and am very happy with the fabric I have purchased. And of course I love the prices. They are so very reasonable and I am impressed with the quality too. I would choose the Fauna thread collection because of the neutral colors being perfect for almost everything I sew. Individual spools I would choose are Bluebird and Butter. Thanks for this opportunity.

Oh, choosing a thread set was much easier than I expected it to be! Beach House just jumped out and grabbed me. Choosing two colors is a bit more difficult… since I purchased about 30 spools of neutrals during your recent sale, I am going to choose some pretty new colors: Beach Glass and Coral Reef.

I would definitely pick the Homestead set as it would be threads to go with many different “Connecting Threads” material. What an awesome duo of fabric and thread. Love it all. If I had to pick just one or two, it would most likely be the new Pine and Natural. Thanks for having such great merchandise.

I just love your thread. Not only do I purchase and use the thread, I also give it as gifts. One year for Christmas, I gave all my sewing buddies a thread box with your thread inside it. I would love to have the Fauna Collection but if I could only get two, I would want the Fawn and Gray. Thanks

I love this thread! It is all I use for quilting and sewing. How exciting to think I might win some. Homestead is my favorite set. Parchment and French Blue are my favorite single spool colors. Thank you for the contest.

I received your new catalog in the mail earlier this week, and it’s already dog-eared from all the looking/wishing/planning I’ve been doing with it. I limit myself on how much I can spend on quilting each month (and of course I’m at my limit for February already!), so the catalog is in my case with my iPad, waiting for my first paycheck in March! I’ve turned back all the pages of stuff I want, and there are several thread sets with the new colors that are on my list. I purchased a beautiful Americana quilt kit in Rupert, Idaho, a few months ago, and it has lots of cotton appliqué on the blocks. Your Americana thread set will be PERFECT for me to begin working on this quilt. It’s a must-have and at the top of my list. It would be wonderful to actually win it as a prize!! That would leave me more money for my March purchases! Lol! I love so many of your products; the quality and original designs are amazing. I bought your Spice Market quilt kit in those so-soft flannel prints, and I just got it back from my machine quilter last month! It’s already bound and waiting for the next show-and-tell at my quilt group next month. And I also purchased one of the quilt kits last month using those beautiful blue cotton prints. I can’t wait to start that one, too! Thanks for everything; you guys ROCK.

I have agreed to finish a quilt that a young lady’s grandma started before she passed away. The Celebration set has more of the colors needed for vintage fabrics, which is what I am using. Cherry and Goldenrod are two perfect examples of the colors I will be using. As with all of your quilting products, I know these will be perfect. Can never have too many threads. I think you need them for everyday life, right? Hope I win.

Would LOVE to try your thread. Both of our quilt shops recently closed, so have to drive a ways to get thread. I would Love the Celebrations set, and since I am doing the Log Cabin kit, colors to go with that would be great. Thanks for this opportunity to win something.

First let me say that yours the best thread to free motion with….I do my own and when I send out a queen or king size quilt I always send this thread… The woman who quilts my top loves it to….now she gets it…I really like the Farmer’s Market set and the 2 colors I would choose would be sprout and french blue. Thanks for the opportunity

Lime and Lemon would be my choice for the 2 spools, and the Celebrations thread set would be Wonderful to have. Thank you for your great thread, I Love it and have a prerty large selection already, but more is always good

I have about 30 spools already, but would love to have one of each color. I think that Woodland or Homestead probably would have the most colors that I do not yet have. Favorite individuals would be Kelly and Red.

Oooooh, so many great colors! Since one of my quilty new year’s resolutions was to use more bright colors, I’d pick either the Rainbow or Celebration set. If I had to narrow it down to two, probably Orange to be bright and cheery and Natural to do lots of piecing with. What a great contest, thanks for the chance to win!

I’m machine quilting my daughter’s wedding quilt right now with “Butter” and your “Butter” Quilter’s Candy for the backing. Your thread is great for machine quilting because 1) it doesn’t continually break while quilting like a mad woman at the machine with a lead foot and 2) it’s economical enough to put as much thread in the quilt that I want. I know many go to the machine quilting thread for MQ, but I am partial to the Essential cotton thread spools.
If treated ….I’ll take “Confections” please, even though I’m a “Homestead” kind of girl at heart.
BTW…..last year I bought several yards of your different quilter’s candy solid colored fabrics. What a great purchase; the quality is wonderful, lush and super soft when washed!

I really like the Farmer’s Market set to complete my variety of items for my Grandson’s “Real Food Connection” organic market store and the 2 colors I would choose would be Cinnamon and Goldenrod. My Corn Silk spool was emptied today. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

I had to rush right over and enter! have had my looksee yet but I love the five here and WARM–well, you cant go wrong with warm !! ya know—you can close your eyes and pick two for me I wont turn it down or send it back-promise

Being new to quilting & currently working on two with several lined up, I would like the Salt & pepper thread set; that would cover anything I need. As for the 2 spools, the French Blue & the Kelly green for a bargello that’s next in line. Thanks for the opportunity.

I love this thread – started using it a year ago – and the quality and price is great! Love the new colors! I think my favorite set – is all of them = but to pick one I’d say the country set. For colors I’d like to see the new Custard and Parchment. THanks for a chance to win!

I have been using your thread, love the quality and the rich colors. If I was chosen to win a collection it would have to be Farmers Market. If I am able to choose two colors, they would still be from the Farmers Market collection. Thanks for your wonderful fabrics and threads.

Wow what a nice dilema. I would love the. Confections Thread Set. As I quilt a lot for my grandkids. For the 2 spools I would love mahogany and fawn as I am about to start quilting a “brown” quilt. Thanks for the chance to win. Leslie

I would choose Celebration set. I do mainly art quilts and the colors are bright and happy! For the single threads I browsed them all and the Lemon, THEN Lime jumped out at me! That alone gives me an idea for a quilt!

Love your thread and use it almost exclusively . The colors are fantastic, oh the range. Love the Celebration Brights- they yell my name. I have found that sunshine and slate seem to disappear first. Thanks for sharing your products with us.

WOW! What a feast for the eyes. Having just perused my stash, I would have to say that the Homestead collection would best suit the 18 yards of fabric I just received from you. My eyes gravitate to the brights and aquas, too. As for the two spools, I like wine and sprout. Yum!

Beautiful colors on the new threads! I was just drooling over the catalog I received in the mail today. For the two colors I would most definitely go with Beach Glass and Wine. For the set I would love to have the…… oh it’s so hard to choose between Celebration, Confections, and Rainbow. Good luck all.

I love the Woodland thread set as I quilt with Batiks a lot lately! The individual thread spools that I really like is the Avocado and Calypso! I just ordered a kit along with the thread this evening and can’t wait to receive my purchase!

Oh..this is sooo easy….I’ll take the Fauna…no wait! Make that the Celebration thread set with all the beautiful colors that would match my batiks…but no, wait just a second! Make that the Farmer’s Market set that would match so many projects I have going…just perfect…but! Maybe it should be the Homestead Thread set because I am using the reproduction fabrics for the Farmer’s Wife Quilt…yes…just perfect…except…maybe! Okay…no, maybe it should be the Essential Country or the Essential Garden Thread sets! Okay…maybe this isn’t as easy as it looks! I could use all of the thread sets because you have such a good blend of colors in each set! There, I said it! I can’t make up my mind so IF I win, I would love …oh…this is painful! Okay…the Celebration Thread set or the Farmer’s Market! And, if I win the two thread set…make mine two spools of….(Pain)….Dark Honey…there! I got it out! I just LOVE your thread. Once I switched to your thread for my long arm machine I haven’t broken the thread one single time on the last three quilts I quilted! Now that’s PAIN FREE QUILTING! Thank you for such a quality product!

I have used your threads and love them. It is very hard to choose since they are all lovely colors. I would pick, Grass (my bathroom color), and Sprout, and in the sets I would pick Beach House, which reminds me of summer. Today is my birthday so maybe I will be lucky. Thanks for the contest!

I have purchased this thread in the past and it is great, I ususally go for neutrals for peicing. I love the new Confections Thread set and my two favorites individual colors are Dark Honey and the new Sprout color (I am a sucker for green). Love all the new colors and sets.

I love the bright colors in your threads. I belong to a sew group in our town that makes flannel blankies for charity for children near and far who use these for comfort. This is part of “Leigh’s Blankies” in memory of Leigh Ann, a nurse who was killed accidentally in an auto accident. I would donate the thread to this organization to accent the blankies.

Thank you for a chance to win such beautiful thread!!
Very hard to choose…..whewie!! Have finally settled tho, on Confections Thread Set. For the 2 separate spools, I’d would pick Apricot & Celadon. ALL the colors are AMAZING!!
